Revelation Report: Letters from the Risen Christ
August 21, 2026
Before John saw a single beast rise from the sea, before the seals opened or the trumpets sounded, Christ turned to seven small congregations in Asia Minor and told them what He thought of them.
The letters in Revelation 2 and 3 are the most personal chapters in the book. They name specific people, specific sins, specific gifts. And they are full of strange details that ordinary readers pass over: a crown of life, a white stone with a hidden name, an hour of trial, a Jezebel, a warning about being lukewarm.
This week's Report gathers our recent work on those letters. Read what catches your eye. These chapters were always meant to be read personally.
